The message
from (Nick Maclaren) contains these words:
What you need for the Agapanthus is a grub-axe (pick-mattock, or
whatever). Like a pickaxe, but with one blade 4" wide at right
angled to the handle. It will cut through the roots easily, and
Agapanthus will not regrow from them as I understand it.
Me sir! Me-me-me! I've got two of those. Now, would one of them go as an
attachment, I wonder?
The critical thing for clay is to loosen it as deeply as you
have the strength for. Compost or (coarse) sand are useful, but
less important.
Well, if you loosen it and give it a dose of compost/sand, a lot of that
will get down amongst the lumps and the worms will get it mixing
earlier.

You *HAVE* got earthwormy type-of-things, haven't you? I have a sort of
feeling that the nasty flatworms which eat our earthworms originated
Down Under, somewhere...
